I took 200 Mg a day of this in the hopes of improving my currently down spirits. Although this seemed to help, a one day lapse after a week of taking it threw me into deeper depression than what was normal. I've since stopped taking it as I don't think becoming dependant on it is any better than dealing with mild depression from time to time. Needless to say, it’s my personal choice.

I bought this as a test to see how it would taste as a late evening herbal tea (a kind of nutrient boost before bed). I have to say, though it's not the tastiest brew without sugar, it more than fits the bill. A great addition to any milkshake... probably wouldn't hurt in some pastry dough’s as an added boost, I'll have to think on that one!

This sencha is of mild quality and more than suitable as a daily table tea. It's mild in flavor and doesn't sour as quickly as most Japanese teas (steep no longer than a minute in less than boiling water). For the price, and considering it's organic, I'd have to say it’s a good value for a heavy tea drinker like me.
